Why don't I Praise myself?

 Self Promotion

                            Chronicles of Mark Johnson

To this day, years after the book, Chronicles of Mark Johnson, earned an award for me, I keep being asked, why don't you sing your parises?

The answer to the question is based in my philosophy, "Self-praise is no praise," I would rather repost a reader's comment, than say how good it is. It is the same when it comes to the Self Promotion of the Forgestiker series of 7 eBooks I wrote at the same time (2012). Though the series sold over 1,000 eBooks, I rarely mention it.

Another short story that I rarely talk about is Sea Ghosts, a story which earned an award given by Facebook for coming third in a writing contest, again in 2012.

I recently checked the MS for Chronicles, and I decided to re-edit it, as my skills as an editor have expanded

Self Promotion

Probably my greatest flaw is I don't tell my readers how good I am as a writer.

This is the view of several writers I used to chat to many years ago.

I won't deny it, I rarely post of my success story, as a writer, I earned several awards, and I was often praised for my writing, both the quality, and the content,  going back over a decade.

I used to believe self-praise is no praise; a quote I often used is "A person who pats themselves too long, ends up with a dislocated shoulder."

The time for change has come. I am an excellent writer of quality stories.
